I used to be a die-hard Pecard’s user until I discovered Blackrock.

Gorgeous display piece, Victor. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve also seen the accompanying seeping lighter fluid from a freshly filled Zippo. Also happened to me as well!

If I’m wearing (rotating) them on a regular basis, hangers have not been a problem. I store them flat for long term storage though.

I was thinking Lost Worlds from the look of the hides, but the two-piece construction of the back of the arms isn’t their characteristic. Not their usual liner either.

I used Pecard’s for years, until I discovered Blackrock. Pecard’s works but Blackrock isn’t as ‘goopy’ and it gets eaten up by the jacket / shoe with almost no residue. Beeswax based too.

Thank you for sharing this. It looks like I’m going to get sidetracked for a few hours now…

Gorgeous example, as usual. My apologies for the late response!

I have the pants/dungarees and they're good for the price.

That's the beauty/damnation of eBay, which can work for/against a buyer or seller. The most profitable jackets I ever sold (we're talking thousands of dollars in profit each) I bought AND sold on eBay. The jackets in question were not even misdescribed or 'hidden' in any way. They were sold me...

I think you're third possibility is the most likely one. The few known collectors who used to post here are still active in 'jacketland', they just don't waste their time posting here anymore. There are also collectors (I fall into that group) that don't post their originals.

Yes...Saw that jacket in person and it's awesome.

Creating a such a list would be a good idea, but then the forum must also allow for such disputes to me resolved publicly in order for the true standing of the member to be correctly represented. In other words, what's to stop a whiny, lying buyer/seller with an axe to grind against another...

Although it's an annoying practice for sellers to pull a listing early, the lack of ethics of such an action is debatable.
